family (Daly Street) in West Brunswick and is where the family home was
situated. John died at 8:30pm on 21 April 1874, age 60 years. This gives a
birth year of about 1813-1814. According to the death certificate, with
information provided by John's son, John James Daly, John's parents were
John Daly, a farmer, and Elizabeth Daly, maiden name Flanagan. John was
buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery on 23 April 1874. He'd been in the

Derry on 1 Oct 1839 (marriage record shows inferred date and month) in Londonderry, Ireland at the age
of 26. She was 28. Eleanor's maiden name was shown as McCleary - her
parents were James M'Cleary, a book binder, and Elizabeth, maiden name
Anderson. She was born in 1811 in Londonderry, according to her death

Melbourne General Cemetery with her husband on 22 September 1889 in the
Roman Catholic Compartment Q, Grave no. 169. She was a colonist of 49 years.

of Emigrants from Ireland, March 17, 1771-March 17, 1892" by John Hugh Campbell
(viewable on Google Books), has excellent short biographies of Valentine Holmes -- who
served as U.S. Consul at Dublin, Ireland -- and his brother John, who were born in Strabane
(Co. Tyrone). The articles also mention their father JOHN HOLMES, said to be a native of
"Buncrana, Ireland" (which is in Co. Donegal).
